Visual Studio 2010 is coming out soon. Does anyone care?
-
I am waiting for the new IDE as I am frustrated of using the 2008 Team suite, specially on dual monitor. We are using Team Foundation Server 2010 beta (Because its impossible to install TFS 2008 on 2 tier server... trust me :) ) and Visual Studio 2008 Team Suite, and I am tired of workarounds to make both the things working... And also .Net 4.0 has some cool new features. like optional parameters, enhanced page output caching, cleaner web.config etc...
I'm going to install it and use it when it is available, I always do.

I've never been less excited about a release of Visual Studio. Most of the programming I'm doing in 2008, has already become easy to the point of boredom. I guess I could start converting all my ASP.Net applications to SilverLight or MVC 2 just make things a little more difficult and less boring... Are you guys excited about any new feature in VS 2010? Is there any new technology in .net 4.0 that will make your job easier or will you be upgrading just because Microsoft makes money by selling new tools every couple years? I was midly excited about VS 2008. LINQ to XML has really made things a lot easier for me since I have been coding quite a bit of integration applications recently. I also think WCF is an improvement over traditional web services, even though I still can't figure out the bindings and configurations. I'm not sure anyone can...

It's nicer than VS 2008 for C++ development. Unfortunately, Microsoft punted on so many bugs for VS 2010, I'll be giving it a pass until SP1 and wish everyone would do the same (to teach those bastards a lesson.) I think .NET got a lot of fine tuning during the VS 2010 development when Microsoft discovered just how lame .NET can be when writing non-web, non-database front end applications. How much is anyone's guess. I haven't noticed anything significant within my admittedly limited use.

I'll upgrade, but only really because it's free through DreamSpark for me. I wouldn't pay for it, even if I did have the money, but then again, I am only a hobbyist.

WCF seems a bit over designed, I liked .NET remoting far better. Plus they screwed up http web proxies in WCF, that worked perfectly fine in .NET 2.0. I'm gonna stick with C# 3.0/.NET 2.0/VS 2008 for a while!

Hell, yes. Support for C++ 0x is something I am not only looking for, but already investigating possibilities to use in production code. F# support is also very nice, but that does not seem like something I can use at work :) For C#/VB I don't really care.
What, exactly, if F#? I've seen references to it, but nothing really informative. I recall a language called Forth that had the interesting feature of being able to create your own language features and keywords, then use them for programming. Are they related?

I like the new parallel stuff in C# and linq (plinq). The code analysis stuff in VS also looks nice, especially for contractors like me who come in and must get up to speed quickly. The historical debugging looks rad too. I think there is more good stuff in the 2010 release than in any other single release of VS for .Net.

Are you kidding us? I guess it's rather pointless to tell you in a few lines what F# is - just use your favorite search-engine ;) I allready use F# in some productive settings and the async-workflow feature alone is worth the effort to learn it :laugh: It's no gamechanger if you are mainly in UI-programming (and here only because there are no desingers - but those *new* event-processing featrues RX gives us was avaiable in F# for a long time) but for more complex settings, parallel and async programming, quick algorithm design and testing its in my opinion THE language in the .net env.

Hi, for me it's the first realease I'm really looking forward to (and I allready use the RC for some productive projects) - for the last releases there was the big improvements in the .net framework and ecosystem (generics, lambdas, linq, WCF, WPF, ...) but this time I really like: - TFS2010 - for a very small team (well it's more or less just me plus 1-2 other guys that joins on some ocassions) it's just great to get a tool you can just "fire and forget" (the installation) - F# ... finally - after long years waiting it's a full member ... that alone is worth the update - there are a lot of improvements for Silverlight and MVC2 (I don't really like Webforms...) the reactive extensions and the task parallel lib. are very good (FP for the win ;) ) - after some doubts during Beta2 I really like the editor and even the speed of the IDE - the new 5.0beta Release of ReSharper even seems to run quicker then with VS2008 (yes for me it's a essential plugin - if only I could have F# support :( ) - the only thing I don't care at all is "dynamics" - I just can't seem to find the time and interest to look into it After all there is no expense for me (ok I have to deinstall/install some parts - so I have to invest some time) - but even without MSDN sub. I would run to the store the first day it's out :thumbsup:

Sounds like a very cool tool! No, I 'm not kidding - I don't program for a living anymore, and haven't for a couple of decades. But when I did, designing algorithms and state machines for real-time electronics testing was my forte. F# probably would have been a great help. Implementing Kalman filters and adaptive signal processing, FFTs and Z-transforms in HP-BASIC was no fun at all!

I'm very excited too, cause I won a copy in the Azure contest. ;P If you like to get more challenge - why don't you try a bit assembler?

Absolutely, there are some nice enhancements to the .net framework, like optional parameters, and improvements to the IDE itself.

If you want to make it harder to do your job install Win3.1 (it uses a mouse as well) and use notepad to write assembly code with :) Its about continuos progression. MS has chosen to not add too much to .Net4 (which I aagree 100% with), but VS 2010 has many new goodies. I love the WPF code editor, it works really well, only subtle differences to the previous one but I went back to VS 2008 the other day and code editing was less pleasant. If you are planning to even consider Silverlight, don't bother withb VS 2008. I've been doing SL development in VS 2010 Beta2 since the day it came out, RC is much better (but has a few new bugs :( ) but I can't wait till RTM relaese...

So being able to reliably crash the IDE and silently re-writing bits of a .aspx page and occsionally the .net code so that my app no longer works are a thing of the past ? Oh, and occasionally having to close and re-open VS to get the site to compile - I'll be rather glad to be rid of that one as well

Some features might be nice to have, but I'd be more excited if it didn't require a Cray to run at a usable speed.
